Chapter 67 - 67 Failed to Recognize Mt. Tai

67 Failed to Recognize Mt. Tai

It had only been three days.

A storm that was supposed to be enough to make Luo Chen unable to make a comeback had ended just like that.

Luo Chen sat in his office and looked at the financial report that had just been delivered. He could not help but smile in satisfaction.

“The effect is not bad. The stock price and our partners are not too affected. There’s no need to deliberately suppress public opinion. You just have to do what I asked you to do.”

After saying that, he handed the financial report to his secretary.

“Yes, Young Master.”

The secretary hurriedly took it, her tone filled with admiration for Luo Chen.

…

At the same time.

Su Han furiously listened to the report from his subordinates.

He never thought that when he forced Luo Chen to a dead end, he would be able to pave a new way out.

Luo Tianming, who was sitting opposite him, was like a frosted eggplant. He hung his head low and kept sighing.

“Now that the construction site is closed, I’m losing money every day. If this continues, I won’t be able to last long.”

After a long time, Luo Tianming spoke with difficulty.

That, too, was the truth.

Every day of suspension would result in all kinds of losses.

This was not even counting the trouble caused by the failure to complete the project as scheduled.

In addition, the three-month deadline was getting closer by the day…

Although their initial goal was to compete for three months after all the buildings were completed,

If Luo Chen’s side had completed the construction earlier and seized the market first, Luo Chen would clearly win.

“I have an idea, but the risk is a little high.”

At this moment, Su Han said sinisterly.

“Huh? Tell me if you have a way! Don’t leave me hanging!”

When Luo Tianming heard this, it was as if he had grasped the last chance of survival. He hurriedly asked.

“Your initial capital should be the same as his, right?”

“I happen to have some assets with heavy debts here. If I can get Luo Chen to buy them…

Even if the construction on his side is completed first, a large amount of money will still be needed to start business.

If we squeeze his liquidity dry, he will naturally face the crisis of his capital chain breaking without us doing anything.”

Su Han said meaningfully, his eyes filled with coldness.

“Then will he fall for it? Who would buy such an asset?”

After several failures, Luo Tianming could not help but hesitate this time.

“Hehe, this kind of asset can be disguised as a high-quality asset as long as it’s packaged slightly. For example, a good-looking piece of land and a development permit will seem profitable.

But actually, there are many infrastructures in that area that are not allowed to be touched. Whoever buys them will have a headache when they realize that.

There are also many high-risk assets that need investments in large amounts in the early stages. Although risks and opportunities correlate, I doubt he will ever be rewarded.”

Su Han explained his plan tirelessly, and the coldness in his eyes grew stronger.

He wanted Luo Chen to never recover!

“Then… how should I attract him to buy it?”

Luo Tianming listened to Su Han’s description and felt that this was a good idea.

“I’ll handle this. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Su Han smiled and said confidently.

…

The next day.

When Luo Chen arrived at the company, he found an exquisite invitation on his desk.

He opened it and saw that there would be a grand auction opening in a hotel not far from his company in three days.

Most of the things to be auctioned were real estate assets.

“Hmm? It looks pretty good. It’s time to expand my new project.”

Luo Chen flipped through the invitation several times and made up his mind. If he had the time, he would go to the auction to take a look.

However, there were very few such auctions in Jiang City. After all, from a certain perspective, the real estate business was almost monopolized by the Luo family already.

Auctioning assets was indeed something new.

…

Three days later.

Luo Chen happened to not be too busy with work. The auction would start at two in the afternoon, so he had time to take a look.

“Push back all the unnecessary work in the afternoon. Come with me to this auction to take a look.”

It was past noon. Luo Chen pushed aside the documents in front of him and made up his mind to go to the auction to watch the show.

“Alright, Young Master. Do you need to bring anyone else?”

The secretary quickly agreed.

“Just bring two bodyguards. We’re going to an auction, not to cause trouble.”

Luo Chen was amused by the secretary’s serious expression and said casually.

“Yes, Young Master.”

The secretary nodded and went down to start the car.

…

On the way to the auction, Luo Chen felt his heart beating a little faster.

There was also an indescribable sense of nervousness.

“Strange, it was just a whim to go to an auction. Could it have triggered a different plot?”

Luo Chen thought to himself, but he did not show it on his face.

It was a proper auction, so there shouldn’t be any big problems.

With that thought in mind, Luo Chen closed his eyes slightly and leaned back in his seat to rest.

…

On the top floor of Shanglin Hotel.

The promotional poster for the auction was already being displayed.

However, there were not many people in the shop, and it was not crowded.

When Luo Chen arrived at the entrance, he could vaguely see that there were already people sitting inside.

“Hello, sir. This is a private auction. You’re not allowed to enter at will. Please show your invitation.”

Just as he was about to enter, the security officer at the door suddenly stopped him.

“Huh? You didn’t say that one needed an invitation to participate. I didn’t bring it.”

Luo Chen was at a loss and asked in confusion.

Usually, in order to increase the popularity of the auction, there were no restrictions on entry. Why did he need an invitation card?

“If you don’t have an invitation, don’t block the way of other esteemed guests.”

The security officer said expressionlessly. At the same time, he muttered in his heart, “Country bumpkin.”

After all, Luo Chen came over from the company and had been busy with work recently, which made him look a little haggard.

His blazer had already been taken off in the car, and the high end white shirt he wore happened to have no brand logo.

“Go, go, go. Hurry up and leave. You’re not allowed to enter this place with this kind of disheveled clothes. Why are you still hanging around the door?”

Seeing that he was still unmoved, the security officer’s tone became even more impolite.

“Oh? What do you mean by disheveled? Am I not neatly dressed enough?”

Luo Chen frowned and asked indifferently.

“Uh… at least wear a tie. Otherwise, get lost!”

The security officer sized him up disdainfully and said coldly.

“Young Master Luo! Why did you come to a small place like mine? What an honor!”

At this moment, a fawning and enthusiastic voice sounded.
